and onions first and cooked the beans so the blend was hot, then I re-heated
for about a minute. Poured this over my spelt pasta, and had a salad (the biggest part of this meal), with red/yellow peppers, romaine lettuce, olives.

It was good, but something was missing from the bean blend...what I have no idea...so, if you have any suggestions for veggie cook books I could use them...and I feel very full...learning as I go, enjoy your week Veggie Lovers, Greco
